Evaluating the resource mobilisation strategies and sustainability of national climate change funds

CDKN commissioned this report from Dalberg to assess the sustainability of National Climate Funds and explore possible approaches to resource mobilization, in response to the mixed experience of National Climate Funds so far. Part 1 of the report introduces its purpose and structure, and its research methodology. Part 2 presents an overview of how National Climate Funds fit into the overall climate finance landscape. Part 3 describes the primary barriers to resource mobilization and the successes of some Funds, and parts 4 and 5 outline a resource mobilization approach for National Climate Funds. The target audience includes existing National Climate Funds, decision makers exploring whether to establish a Fund, and climate policy makers more generally.
